School Lunch Ideas
Nutritious, appealing meals that give her energy and focus all day.
The protein-first rule
Aim for 15-20g of protein at lunch — it keeps her full and focused. Think: chicken wrap, egg sandwich, Greek yoghurt, or legume-based salads.
Make it fun
Use bento-style boxes with variety. Small portions of several things beat one big item she might not feel like eating.
Involve her in planning
Let her pick two or three options each week. Ownership = actually eating it.
Prep ahead on Sundays
Batch-cook proteins and grains so lunches take under 5 minutes to assemble.
Healthy snacks matter too
Nuts, fruit, hummus + veg, or cheese and crackers prevent energy crashes between classes.
